> This might be in part a duplicate of Issue 8664...

This is actually a much more comprehensive extension of issue 8664. Instead of
allowing some workaround by adding only a logo to a header / footer, this issue
intends actually to split the whole non-table information from the table-layer,
in line e.g. with Apple's Numbers: see e.g. this iWorks tutorial
http://movies.apple.com/movies/us/apple/mac/iwork/2007/numbers/iwork_numbers_addingtextandshapes_20070807_640x360.mov

You can add a lot of objects to the spreadsheet in Numbers, including images,
text, ... These objects are outside the table, and therefore do NOT interfere
with the table data and operations.

Also, most professional spreadsheets will have a comprehensive header only on
the first page (usually taking a substantial part of the first page). It does
NOT make sense to duplicate this header on every page.

Also, the table might extend laterally on more than one pages, BUT it makes
sense to have all the relevant header information only on the left-most page,
and this independent of scaling factors and other external influences.

Apple did it right and split the tables from the rest of the spreadsheet, or -
more appropriately - created a big *CANVAS*, where the tables are just one part
of this canvas.

This big canvas behaves more like a OOo Draw page, with tables being just one
element (the actual, classic spreadsheet), while users can work with the canvas
more freely without being bound by spreadsheet limitations and interfering with
the table proper.
